Bend Oregon or Durango Colorado
Bend is on the divide between the the cascades and the dry, sunny great basin. Bend is sunny, mild and the weather is far better than in the Willamette Valley. Unlimited year around cycling. Mt. Bachelor is a 15 minute drive. Ski in the morning, bike in the afternoon. Clean and almost pollution free. Nice people with a Vermont-like social culture.

When I ride my bike I feel free and happy and strong. I'm liberated from the usual nonsense of day to day life. Solid, dependable, silent, my bike is my horse, my fighter jet, my island, my friend. Together we will conquer that hill and thereafter the world.
